I’m Dr. Ericka, Board-Certified, Harvard trained Adult and Child Psychiatrist, Integrative Life Coach and Creator of the Peacefulness Box. Most people look at me and praise me for all of my accomplishments. But there’s always a story behind the shininess and accomplishments. Can I share my real story with you?

My life started off as a fairytale.

I was born to doting parents and was a certified daddy’s girl. I grew up surrounded by so much love that I had no choice but to succeed. Graduating from medical school was the culmination of a life-long dream coming true because I had wanted to be a doctor for as long as I could remember. Not to mention, how my parents grin with pride every time that they get to talk about their “doctor daughter.”I was checking all the boxes and making my parents proud.

I had no idea a curveball was coming.

I, like a lot of women, was taught that you go to school, get an education, be a good girl, and the husband, kids, and great job will come. I not only found myself without even a boyfriend, let alone a husband, childless, but I also ended up in a job that I was not only overworked but was not always getting paid.

My morning ritual became curling up in a ball in the shower and crying before going to work every day because I was exhausted and drained before my day even began.

I wondered how could I seemingly do everything right, but still end up in such a soul-sucking situation where my dreams felt twisted and so far away. I felt powerless and suffocated and had NO PEACE.

“But then I had an epiphany.”

Through much trial and error, I realized that I could have the peace I desired despite feelings of unworthiness, shame, and overwhelm. That is why I embraced my gifts and skills for understanding human behavior as a psychiatrist and I transitioned into integrative life coaching.

Now, I Creatively Empower Women To Identify Their Own Dreams And Desires, Remove Road Blocks, And Attain Their Happy On Their Terms

It’s Time For You To Truly Have Peace and Live The Life You Desire.
